Parker DHE 12 ga Damascus Barrels

[Carl Erickson Jr]

My suggestion is to 1: find the chamber length 2. shoot hells that have 1 ounce or less loads at a moderate velocity such as RST. I would have the gun checked out by a competent gunsmith for wood or mechanical problems to include barrel wall thickness. I would further suggest that you might want to learn how to load your own shells to meet your needs.

Mark,

What year did this chart come from DuPont? Just curious.
